Volunteer

Owl’s Hill cannot exist without the tremendous support of over 575 volunteers each year. Our devoted volunteers play an essential role in fulfilling our Mission here at Owl's Hill Nature Sanctuary.

We have a dedicated full-time and part-time staff, but we are fortunate to have a strong, active volunteer staff serving in many capacities from office work to trail guides or at special events.
